Everyone should try these calculations
Can you agree?
For each of these sets of dimensions, calculate the building cost using the values given in the task instructions:
· The walls and roof of the facility will be made out of metal sheet that costs $14 per m^2.
· The facility must be placed on a 20cm thick concrete floor.
· The concrete costs $640 per m^3.
[The space in each of these is approximately 200m^3]
1. Does everyone in your group get the same answer?
2. How many liters are there in 1m^3?
